Lindsay Lohan posed for a very special edition of New York Magazine with photographer Bert Stern. Lindsay Lohan recreated the 1962 nude portraits of Marilyn Monroe by Bert Stern known as "The Last Sitting." Stern has, now 46 years later, revisited those shots with Lindsay.
Regarding the nudity, Lohan tells the magazine: "I was comfortable with it," though she confesses to having done "250 crunches" the night before the shoot. Lohan sees the Monroe photos (and by extension her own) as a way of regaining power: "Here is a woman who is giving herself to the public. She’s saying, ‘Look, you’ve taken a lot from me, so why don’t I give it to you myself.’ She’s taking control back."
The photoshoot is a beautiful tribute to Marilyn Monroe, and to the struggles both stars share. Lindsay Lohan exposes her body with grace and dignity.

The Spring Fashion issue of New York Maggazine is on sale today. The photographs were shot at the Hotel Bel-Air on February 5. Everything from the original photoshoot was duplicated, from props to lighting.
Lindsay, as we know, has an ongoing obsession with Marilyn Monroe, and even has purchased the apartment where Monroe lived. This photoshoot was a no-brainer decision:
"I didn’t have to put much thought into it. I mean, Bert Stern? Doing a Marilyn shoot? When is that ever going to come up? It’s really an honor."
Lindsay notes the tragic deaths of Monroe and recently Heath Ledger as being "prime examples of what this industry can do to someone," but says "I sure as hell wouldn’t let it happen to me."

This woman presents as one of the more stunning visual images of our times, but I hope Ms. Lohan can keep her act together enough to keep making movies that I like watching. There will be more people that comment about semi-nude photos of “Lindsay as Marilyn”, including my 9 and 11 year-old daughters who are still disappointed in her for prior acts. But Lohan’s performance in “Bobby” made her a much bigger contributor to art, history and film than this photo-shoot.
i think on the sec one she looks really old….she has too many freacals (i suck at spelling) but the last one looks soooooo nice!
over all, this is not my fav shoot of hers…
Yeah I mean: why do you censor it if she’s trying to make a statement?
oke i misread ur message
sorry!
fannah, the actualli scans doesnt have those hearts on her tits.. its been censored here
although i tink her shots are nothing compared to marilyn’s
i like the second one the best -she look effortlessly sexy
Lindsey is pretty, Marilyn was beautiful. The re-shoot was a mistake for all involved.
If you think it’s “such a great move”, why do you cover up her body witht hose hearts? I think what is Lindsay’s point, is that the world should get less perverse and not be ashamed of (seeing) it. It doesn’t matter cuz everyone has a body and I totally agree with her.
I have seen all the photo’s they have released so far, She is so beautiful, and I have said that all along, I have been proven right, as I knew I would be, She is Lovely, depth of feeling, and emotion from those Hazel Eyes, deep pools of a full soul. I Love You, I wish You would have agreed to be My Valentine, This Shoot was done before I sent You Roses, and that card, It does not change the way I feel about You, only Re-inforces my feelings. I am Right about them too, You Should be HERE with me, even for a little while, before the madness of Hollywouldn’t takes YOU over again. Think about it anyway, I can help You, and You could help me.
GOD Bless You Always, Lindsay D Lohan, I Love You Always, me, Larry T Robinson O.R. Tn.
She is gorgeous as always! But they really gave her a crappy wig. It ruins some of the shots because it is so flat. They should have teased it up — a la Marilyn.
Too late to revive bad career.
hello,beautiful lady…
my previous comment seems to have been lost in the free-floating wireless electrons of the information superhighway.oh well,i just have to agree with everyone so far,Lindsay is absolutely dead-on in her portrayal of miss Monroe,and i really love the two photos of her,holding the pink and blue-green scarves in front of her,so sexy and alluring.a quality of the phenomenon that is Lindsay Lohan,that is often overlooked in the media madness that surrounds her,is her timeless appeal,that old-world presence and ability to effortlessly become any woman,a body ecletic,a chameleon of personality.if you have followed this hugely talented young woman,you know what i am talking about,that in countless magazines she has portrayed famous women,and always pays them a fine tribute in her likeness.go,Lindsay,go!!!
wishing my favorite movie star and triple threat sensation,the always sexy and absolutely incomparable miss Lindsay Lohan,the best of health,happiness,and continued good fortune in career and personal life in 2008,and beyond.love you,Lindsay.love always,a huge fan and friend.peace

OMG!!!!! WoOoOoOoOw!! She looks stunnig, beautyful, sexy, gorgeous! She has an amazing body and a natural sex appeal, she is the most beautiful and talented girl I ever seen, I mean, she´s more than a prety face and a hot body, you need way more than that tomake uch an amazing photo shoot like this one, you need personality, confidence in yourself, talent and many other amazing things that Linds have! Go on girl, this is just the begining of a brand new legend!
this is the best photo shoot in the world. lindsay is the most beautiful and most talented person out there in hollywood. I am so proud of her for this. Mabye now she will be offered to playboy magazine… I love it.
Well…there went her deal with Playboy!
wow,i am stunned…Lindsay really puts her all into everything she does,even an obsession with her long-deceased idol,Marilyn Monroe.how many women in hollywood,and all the women who ever idolized MM,can say they did a photoshoot,recreating the final photos of miss Monroe,with the very same photographer who did that last shoot?NONE,once again,Lindsay stands alone,a unique and beautiful personality and soul,not to mention,stunning on film and magazine page.btw,these photos were shot with film,not video or digital.i think Lindsay looks great in her homage to a fading 36 year old star of old hollywood,and portrays miss Monroe realistically,as she was having career troubles,and physical issues at that stage of her career.also,the side view of Lindsay and her breasts,shows the haters and trashloid mongrels that her breasts are real,a long-running rumor of the scumbag trashloid/smearNET haters,that we,the fans,always knew was a bunch of crap,but that,someday,Lindsay would have to squash,once and for all,well done,and tasteful,and in a tribute to her,perhaps,favorite movie star.love you,Lindsay.love always,a huge fan and friend.peace
“well,you got yourself a nice feel there,didn’t you,Harlan Wilson?!”

Is that the little girl from “The Parent Trap”?
Beautiful photoshoot great body by the way…
I agree with Roll On Patty. Lindsay has more to offer then people give her credit for.
This was a really brave move! I think it gives a big insight into LL that she chose this shoot (Marilyns swansong) she must identify with Marilyn so much, I mean why did she choose this famously unhappy 1 of monroe rather than a more publicity oriented one? I think LL has more depth than she gets credit for!
